First off, I find this column absolutely hilarious and I love the picture of you in your flames.. ah, well. Very well. Moving forward with my question.

Just being the curious squirrel I am, why is it that you choose to be Richard the Flame? I mean, out of all the things out there... (Ice, water, air, dung, paper, trees, all the different elements) Why did you choose that particular one?
